I've Never Been More Homesick...

There's a song about how we long for heaven...for our home...but when we lose someone we love, that longing turns to a deep ache in our hearts. My heart aches. It physically hurts deep inside.

All those things in my parent's house that I hated a few weeks ago are all gone. No more hospital beds, no more pain. All is quiet.

We were all there. We held her hand. We said goodbye. I whispered in her ear that I loved her and asked her to give Jesus a hug for me.

And now, for the rest of us, life goes on. Somehow, it goes on. One day at a time, one heartbeat in an aching heart at a time...it goes on.
